"Nearly three months after a woman was found dead on South Railroad Street, Phenix City police are still looking to question her 31-year-old boyfriend about the shooting.
Derek Jerome Thomas of Phenix City was named as a person of interest in the death of 27-year-old Jennifer Chambers. He is also wanted on bail jumping and third-degree domestic violence warrants.
Officials said they found Chambers dead with a gunshot wound to the head around 1a.m. Nov. 8 in the 1700 block of South Railroad Street. She was dating Thomas at the time of the shooting.
Thomas is accused of bail jumping on a prior domestic violence case that didn’t involve Chambers. Officials said he has family in the area of Phenix City and Columbus, and he still may be in the vicinity.
Anyone with information about the case is encouraged to call Lt. Darrell Lassiter at 334-448-2837, Capt. George Staudinger at 334-448-2836 or anyone else with the Phenix City Police Department’s Criminal Division. All tips will be kept confidential.

Thoughts? I'm a bit confused since the headline of the article is that Thomas was charged with murder, but the article suggests he was still only wanted for questioning. In any case, I am assuming police are still looking for Thomas as of this posting date (5/8/2018) since I've seen no articles since January, but if anyone has any updates one way or the other, feel free to let us know.
